PROJECT SUMMARY The objective of this proposal is to understand how immune responses in children with sickle cell disease (cwSCD) are shaped by exposures in their local environment and lead to disparate health outcomes. The rationale underlying this proposal is that our prior work demonstrates that cwSCD have unique alterations in their blood inflammatory transcriptional profiles and upper airway microbiomes at baseline with further perturbations during acute complications. We have also shown that the public health exposome (PHE), which includes stressors from the natural, built, social, and policy environments, influences inflammation in chronic diseases. The proposed research is significant because SCD disproportionally impacts underrepresented minority populations with many children frequently exposed to and challenged by multiple negative social determinates of health. The central hypothesis is that the PHE is associated with altered inflammatory signaling in cwSCD leading to increased frequency of acute complications. The central hypothesis will be tested by pursuing two specific aims: 1) Characterize SCD baseline immune signatures and 2) Link environmental and socio- demographic factors from the PHE 4.0 database to SCD outcomes at the individual, community, and population-levels. We will pursue these aims using sophisticated transcriptional and proteomic profiling of immune signatures combined with a novel database of real-time PHE data and well-characterized clinical data. Our interdisciplinary team of experts in immunology, microbiology, and public health along with hematology, pulmonology, and ID specialists combines complementary clinical and research expertise to take a new approach to study outcomes in cwSCD. The expected outcome of this work will establish a unique profile of immune signatures integrated with the PHE to generate an unparalleled dataset of biologic data with societal and environmental factors that influence health in cwSCD. The long-term goal is to integrate findings with a comprehensive assessment of the airway and gut microbiomes and hormonal stress responses from this cohort and longitudinally evaluate how immune-environmental factors predict acute complications. Ultimately, we will create comprehensive phenotypic profiles of cwSCD to help improve prediction, prevention, and treatment of acute complications in cwSCD that move beyond the current paradigm of supportive and/or reactive care.

项目概要 该提案的目的是了解镰状细胞病儿童的免疫反应如何 细胞疾病（cwSCD）是由当地环境中的暴露造成的，并导致不同的症状 健康结果。该提案的基本原理是我们之前的工作表明 cwSCD 的血液炎症转录谱和上部有独特的改变 气道微生物组处于基线，并在急性并发症期间进一步受到干扰。我们有 还表明，公共卫生暴露组 (PHE)，其中包括来自自然、 建筑、社会和政策环境影响慢性疾病的炎症。这 拟议的研究意义重大，因为 SCD 对代表性不足的人产生了不成比例的影响 拥有许多儿童的少数族裔群体经常面临多种因素的威胁和挑战 健康的负面社会决定因素。中心假设是 PHE 与 cwSCD 中炎症信号的改变导致急性发作频率增加 并发症。将通过追求两个具体目标来检验中心假设：1） 表征 SCD 基线免疫特征，2) 将环境和社会联系起来 PHE 4.0 数据库中的人口因素到个人、社区、社区的 SCD 结果 和人口水平。我们将使用复杂的转录和 免疫特征的蛋白质组学分析与实时 PHE 数据的新型数据库相结合 和充分表征的临床数据。我们的跨学科免疫学专家团队， 微生物学、公共卫生以及血液学、肺病学和感染性疾病专家 结合互补的临床和研究专业知识，采取新的研究方法 cwSCD 的结果。这项工作的预期成果将建立一个独特的形象 免疫特征与 PHE 集成，生成无与伦比的生物数据集 影响 cwSCD 健康的社会和环境因素的数据。长期来看 目标是将研究结果与气道和肠道的综合评估相结合 来自该队列的微生物组和激素应激反应，并纵向评估如何 免疫环境因素可预测急性并发症。最终，我们将创造 cwSCD 的全面表型特征有助于改进预测、预防和 cwSCD 急性并发症的治疗超越了当前的范式 支持性和/或反应性护理。
